Red Sea Maritime Security: The United Kingdom remains committed to restoring freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea. Recent efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region are welcomed, and it is hoped that these efforts can help provide a pathway to sustainable peace in Yemen, in line with the Special Envoy’s efforts.
Maritime Security
Maritime security is essential in upholding stability in the region. The UK will continue to work towards effectively containing Houthi capabilities through a coordinated international approach. The UK supports the Yemen Coast Guard in protecting their maritime borders and looks forward to launching the Yemen Maritime Security Partnership alongside the Government of Yemen and international partners in June.
Impact on Women
Women face a disproportionate impact from the conflict in Yemen. According to the Georgetown Institute’s Women, Peace and Security Index, Yemen ranked second-to-last in 2023, and no progress has been seen since then. The UK continues to champion the important role that women can play in both ending the conflict in Yemen and upholding sustainable peace.
– Support for Women: Last year, UK funding supported nearly 1.5 million women and children with essential lifesaving services and enabled 15,000 to receive protection and gender-based violence response services.
– Women’s Role in Peace: The UK hosted a group of Yemeni women leaders and experts on the women, peace and security agenda to provide a vital platform for these important voices.

Humanitarian Situation
The humanitarian situation in Yemen is severe. The UK condemns the ongoing detentions of aid workers by the Houthis and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The detention of aid workers continues to shrink the humanitarian operating environment, where nearly 20 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance.
Support for the Government of Yemen
The UK welcomes the new Prime Minister, Salem Bin Breik, and looks forward to working together with him. The UK remains committed to supporting the Government of Yemen’s ambitious reform programme and continues to support the UN Special Envoy’s work to deliver inclusive and sustainable peace in Yemen [1].
